I will continue battling the human tragedy of opioid dependence and overdose. I have authored legislation reforming prescribing practices; automatic prescribing of naloxone, a medication that immediately reverses the effects of overdose & save lives

As chair of the Assembly Health Committee and a career health care provider, improving healthcare quality and access is my top priority. I will work to achieve universal health coverage for all Californians

My Top 3 Priorities

Taxes - California ranks in the top for Gas Tax, Income Tax and Sales Tax while 1 in 5 Californians live in poverty. This heavy tax burden cripples the middle class and drives businesses and jobs to neighboring states. Enough is enough!

Infrastructure - California ranks near the bottom for road conditions, yet we have the highest Gas Tax in the country. There are many examples of California's misguided transportation policies.

Water - More efficient and effective water transport and new water storage capacity are critical in conserving as much water as possible. We must develop new technology that benefit our agricultural economy while protecting habitats.
